The Fighter Collection with Eagle Dynamics are happy to announce that DCS: L-39 is available for pre-purchase from the DCS E-Shop. The pre-purchase provides both a 20% discount off the retail price and access to the Open Beta coming in September 2015.

The L-39 Albatros is a low-wing, high-performance jet aircraft that doubles as a trainer and light attack aircraft. The Albatros was developed in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s to replace older L-29 jet trainers. Powered by an Ivchenko AI-25TL turbofan engine, the L-39 has a top speed of Mach 0.80, a service ceiling of 11,000 m (36,100 feet), and can pull up to 8 G. Although primarily used as a trainer and light attack aircraft, the L-39 has also become popular with several aerial acrobatics demonstration teams.

Being a trainer aircraft, the L-39C has a tandem cockpit with the student in front and the instructor in the back. The instructor has several controls to mimic system failures to test the student. The L-39C also has two underwing pylons for bombs, rockets and close range air-to- air missiles. For decades, the L-39 was used by nations around the world to train pilots that later went on to fly aircraft like the MiG-29 and Su-27.

Professional Flight Model that accurately mimics the performance and flight characteristics of this legendary trainer

The Mustang racing season comes to an end with the most difficult course of the season. To complicate matters, they had to deal with 20 mph winds. Still, there was a champion to be crowned so racing went on.

Race day was not that pretty but qualifying provided a clue to who had the course figured out. Mick led the pack with a blistering qualifying time of 2:11.57 and ended up working his way to the end of the bracket, earning his first win of the season. This won him the Bf-109 provided by Hitman, in association with LockOnFiles, but more importantly, locked him into the number 1 position for the championship!

This mission is a fun Combined Arms battle with Red armor attacking Blue Min-Vody Airbase from five directions. The Red armor starts are randomized so every mission should flow a little differently. Red has some light air defense including OSAs; Blue has all the aircraft and armor and Stryker ATGMs as JTACs.

This mission starts at 2000 and as always the lighting is very nice at that time of evening -- the mission should go well past sunset
